Hand Me Down World (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

When she told me she had killed her husband I assumed it was an accident.
‘No,’ she said, ‘I meant to kill him.’ She drove a pair of scissors into his armpit. The point penetrated his heart.
She could no longer stand his lies. Lies about other women. She rang the police and told them what she had done. Then she made herself some coffee. She could hear the siren as she knocked on a neighbour’s door for milk. She even left the door open. She was sitting at the table drinking coffee when the first policeman came in the door.
I like Ramona. I like her honesty and her kindness. She has a lot of visitors. Often she shares her food with me. One visitor brings her postcards. The only time she needs the desk we share is when she sits down to write on the back of a postcard. One of her friends is a traveller for a cosmetics company. She collects the postcards from Ramona and sends them off from different parts of the country. The postcards will be read by an elderly woman who believes her granddaughter is visiting all the places on the cards.
